Now time has come for Ponting to make his decision regarding his career to Stay or to retire !!!!. "The axing has pushed Ponting close to retirement", Chief Selector Inverarity said. But the selectors and the skipper Clarke emphasize that Ponting be in place for the Test squad. In spite, of his Odi slump his Test scoring has been above par scoring second only to Michael Clarke in the recent test series with India in which Aussies won 4-0.

With series with SriLanka, West Indies, South Africa, India and England fast approaching, him being absent for the Odi's will diminish his match fitness and will he be able to provide enough remains a big question. Considering all these grounds Australian cricket Board has given Ponting a couple of days to discuss the issues with his family and manager and announce his decision in the press meet on Tuesday (Feb, 21st).

Inverarity commented that missing the experience of Ponting will definitely unbalance the team, but the decision made, was in the belief that it is good for Australian Cricket. With his career path open for Test format his Odi career is more or less is over by pondering over the comments by Inverarity. Now its Pontings call to remain just for Tests or to quit for ever !!!!
